My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?

So, they acknowledge that the outbreak simulation was real and that Gates Foundation is involved, but hide it under claims Gates is “profiting from it”. I don’t think that’s what most people are claiming at all. So they try to cover up the facts by debunking lies.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have a mission that’s globalism and population control, among other things. They fund a company that does virus research under the guise of “livestock research”.
@jayballer73 he and Self are friends. They alluded to hanging out together last time we were in Morgantown. I think he deeply loves basketball and the process of coaching guys up. He cares about his players.
@approxinfinity He did average 8.7 assists per game in college. No apparent game plan by Lon to incorporate that into any cohesive winning strategy, though. Chances are his pro teammates have made it clear that they want to make buckets too, and did so in a convincing way other Sooners were not allowed to raise because of the coach ceding Trae the key.
@kjayhawks Oh I did put up cameras after the bucket of peanuts was dumped over the fence. I let them know they were there, so they’d quit more than trying to catch them. I still caught her tearing up my property (police said they would prosecute, handed it off to another district and mothballed it - blue wall crap) and going on a rant about how they lived there first so that makes it ok. I replied what in the world does being here first matter? That doesn’t give you the right to endanger others, besides my family has lived on the block for 5 generations and you just moved here 10 years ago.
Lol, jerks
I love my new neighbors.
@mayjay ? I guess if there was no fracking the oil well would stop producing and there would be no salt to dispose of so there would be no earthquakes? Fracking is no more responsible for the earthquakes than cars are. Ultimately fracking is responsible for air pollution and the destruction of mankind by that logic I suppose.
This one is one of my favorites and not one of the more well known,
“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?… It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
